culture is easier to talk about via music videos

This video is popular here.
(Although its a different sort of popular than in egypt, because i've never seen it on TV, only on phones and mp3 video players etc.)

First, "she was pretty."
I'm assuming this is a korean translating thing, because it happens all the time. For example,
Question: "How are you?"
Answer: "I was fine."
I don't know whether this a confusion about how to use the "be" verb, or whether they only describe people in past tense.

Second, the flasher. Apparently this is fairly common in Korea. I know this is anecdotal, but it's at least common enough that an 11 girl in my class was "so - so" after a flasher had been prowling her building all weekend. She was trying to explain to me what a flasher was when my boss walked in and started giggling and then faux flashed me with her coat. Everyone laughed.

Finally, i think it's pretty great that hot asian school girls are apparently not an 'exotic fetish,'
since this video was made for purely domestic consumption. (Unless of course they've internalized the exoticism that the West created, in which case its FUCKED UP)

On a related note, god bless youtube.




(did you know they use the english words for gay and lesbian here?)
